was not aware of any reason for calling his
attention to the enforcement of the liquor

had endeayored to perform his duties as
County Attorney in any one direction, it was
to enforce the liquor law as impartially and
faithfully as other criminal laws, and the
records of convictions in this county during
the present incumbent's term, will substanti-
ate him. .fA

peerlng Town Meeting.

To the Editor Of the Press:
A special town meeting is horror to the
good voters of our town. We have no city
government to attend to our town business.
The selectmen cannot legally exceed appro-
priations. The school house at Woodfords
cannot be finished the present year without
more money. 1t is necessary that both
rooms be completed for the fall term begin
ming September 9Th. The building commit
tee say it will be cheaper to finish both rooms
now. Why should the completion of the
building be postponed for another year? |
think the good voters of Deering will be
willing for once to submit to special town
meeting to raise the balance of the money
needed for this necessary purpose. If one is
called let us not scold about it. but let the
school house be finished. L. b. BENNETT.
